My One Little Green Estie Sj Seems To Have Multiplied....

Woo Hoo!

 

My favorite parts are when you see lots of ripples. That's streakers right? Not like the icicles which are also pretty.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Can I get a witness? Then Testify! I have more J's, but only one Dollar (blue and short). Esties are amazing but they multiply like Mogwai (80's movie reference) the one I'm staring at is your NOS and banded nurses pen. You've done well,. I salute you.

There's also a NOS small grey Transitional, and the blue LJ is NOS as well, but the box for the blue one was lost to time.

Well, my 1 has multiplied to 3 restored, 1 restoration-in-progress, with at least 3 more in the mail, along with some J-levers and #16 sacs for future work. This is within a matter of a month, so watch out, I may catch up to you by next year.

Keep it up, crazy loves company! LOL

 

They are addictive and I really enjoy working on them. Glad I'm not the only one.

I have a tranny in red and a green dollar with a 3550 sunburst, and they are amazing writers. I love them, I hope I don't go bankrupt

Try to hold out for the nicer more unusual patterned ones on Fleabay. Buy only pens without major defects.

 

Don't overspend on them. There's plenty out there.

 

Do a nice restore on them, including a polish job.

 

Take good care of them as you use them.

 

Spend a little time on the sales listing, being sure to take multiple clear pics If and When you decide to sell them.

 

With the exception maybe of a P-51, you are probably more likely to at least get your money back on an Estie.

My most expensive was the dollar for 33 and the tranny for 32. By no means am I remotely knowledgeable, but to me these looked pretty in good shape and shined up nice with some light scratch remover. Someone said that I did well on the dollar with the 3550 nib so I am happy about that. I just want a blue and a copper with a stub nib at least but I can never find one

You've been making great buys!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
